What curse, you may ask? You probably don't know this, but no one has held the Impact World Championship longer than six months since Bobby Roode record-setting reign of 256 days. Barring a title change happening in Las Vegas during the next set of tapings, Josh Alexander will be champion for 200+ days, joining the aforementioned Roode and AJ Styles as the only wrestlers to hold Impact Wrestling's top prize for that long (I am not counting the five years the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was in use). For the record, the 256th day of Josh Alexander's current title reign would be January 4th, 2023 ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS (no notes, as spoilers dictate the direction the belts are going in, and they are pretty notable) World Champion: Josh Alexander World Tag Team Champions: The OGK X Division Champion: Frankie Kazarian Knockouts World Champion: Jordynne Grace Knockouts Tag Team Champions: The Death Dollz (Freebird rule TBD) Digital Media Champion: Brian Myers NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: HARD TO KILL January 13th, from Atlanta.

I'm a bit behind, but I've been hearing HNM's contracts are up soon/now? If ROH is close to finalizing TV, it seems likely they'd turn up there. But they'd have to rename themselves Honor Some More.

The tournament for the newly-vacated X Division Championship is very intriguing: Black Taurus vs. Laredo Kid -> Yuya Uemura vs. PJ Black Alan Angels vs. Trey Miguel -> Kenny King vs. "Speedball" Mike Bailey

Impact, if nothing else, is the company that is 100% OK with leaning into the goofiness of PCO's character, so it's really the best place for him.

Apparently, Laredo Kid hosed up his intestines in a match for AAA two days ago, so that sucks.

I wish wrestling companies could stop hiring bad people, until they do I'll keep tuning their segments out. Jordynne and Gisele had a beast of a main event, Knockouts keep winning.

Over Drive is tomorrow on Impact+ and Youtube Mickie James vs Taylor Wilde; if Mickie loses she retires Bully Ray vs Moose in a tables match Trey Miguel vs Black Taurusl for the vacant X title Heath and Rhino defend the tag titles against Brian Myers and Matt Cardona The Death Dollz (Jessicka, Rosemary, and/or Taya Valkyrie) defend the Knockouts tag titles against Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans Jordynne Grace defends the Knockouts title in a last woman standing match against Masha Slamovich Josh Alexander defends the world title against Kazarian Chris James 2 fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Nov 18, 2022 |

I hope Mickie gets retired by a random midcarder on a random TV episode. "If someone beats me I'll retire" works way better if it's not a big hyped PPV match. They probably won't because of taping spoilers, but it'd be a cool way to go out by putting over someone who is still working her way up and needs a big rub like that (so, Masha). edit: Joe Hendry's whole bit is funnier than it has any right to be.

Over Drive developments: MCMG #1 contenders for the tag titles, they're going to defend the Strong Openweight tag titles in New Japan in the meantime; if they're still holding those belts when they come back, Chris Bey and Ace Austin want a shot (they'll be in New Japan also but for the Jr Tag League, so won't be able to then) Deonna Purrazzo wants to end Mickie James' career because Mickie's ruining hers (ended Deonna's title reign at BFG 2021, just ended her best friend Chelsea Green's time in the company) Trey Miguel turned heel to win the X title Bully Ray called his world title shot for Hard To Kill, then beat the poo poo out of Josh Alexander (in front of Josh's family) like everyone expected him to and like he said he couldn't believe anyone would trust him not to do, then threatened to piledrive Josh's wife on the outside until Josh gave him possession of the belt in the meantime Taurus

I just found out that the match-up of Josh Alexander and "Speedball" Mike Bailey got taped last weekend, and I'm going to make a GDT for that episode because it sounds like a 4¾ star match on free TV.
